September 23, 2008 - Torrance, CA - Water pollution, vampire electronics and alternative energy were just a few of the topics more than 3,500 young people across the nation addressed last year in the Lexus Eco Challenge. An even larger response is expected for 2008/2009 as Lexus and Scholastic announce the launch of the second annual Lexus Eco Challenge. The Challenge, an educational program and contest that inspires and empowers middle and high school students to learn about the environment and take a stand to improve it, offers a total of $1 million in grants and scholarships for winning students, teachers and schools.
New this year is the support of third-generation oceanographer and environmentalist Fabien Cousteau, the grandson of legendary oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. "I met with Lexus a few years back because I was impressed with the company and wanted to explore how we could partner on spreading the word about my environmental concerns, so when I learned about the Lexus Eco Challenge, I was excited to participate," said Cousteau. "I'm a believer that once people realize how simple it can be to help protect our environment, they'll get involved. The Lexus Eco Challenge brings this realization to the next generation who will be most affected if we don't begin to find solutions to our environmental challenges today."
The Lexus Eco Challenge has two distinct elements:
• Standards-based supplementary educational materials - encourages teachers to integrate creative lesson plans into their classrooms to help teach students about the environment.
• Competition to reward environmental action - helps young people apply what they've learned in class through the program and empowers them to make improvements in their community by participating in any of the three environmental team challenges.
"We were so impressed last year at the breadth and depth of the ideas and programs implemented by participants in the Challenge," said Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager. "We saw teens discover their potential to make a difference, and we heard from teachers that they were truly inspired by what their students accomplished. We have high hopes for this second year as even more young people join us in helping to improve the environment."
The Challenges and Rewards
The Lexus Eco Challenge registration opened on Sept. 15, 2008, and will conclude with the announcement of the first-place and grand-prize-winning teams during Earth Month, April 2009. Middle and high school teams, comprised of 5-10 students and one teacher advisor, are invited to participate in three initial challenges, each addressing a different environmental element – land, water, and air/climate.
For each of the challenges, teams will define an environmental issue that is important to them, develop an action plan to address the issue, implement the plan, and report the results. Teams are invited to participate in as many of the three challenges as they choose. Submission deadlines are: Challenge #1 (Land) – Oct. 24, 2008; Challenge #2 (Water) – Dec. 12, 2008; and Challenge #3 (Air/Climate) – Feb. 6, 2009.
Each of the three challenges will have 16 winning teams – eight middle school and eight high school teams. The winning teams will each receive a total of $10,000 in scholarships and grants to be shared among the students, teacher and school. In addition, the winning action plans will be featured on a special Web page to inspire other students to take action in their communities.
In mid-February, the winning teams from the first three challenges will be invited to participate in the Final Challenge. Teams will be asked to reach beyond the local community and inspire environmental action around the world through innovative ideas that are communicated to a wide audience. From the Final Challenge entries, 14 first-place teams and two grand-prize-winning teams will be selected. Each of the 14 first-place teams will receive a total of $30,000 in grants and scholarships, and the two grand-prize-winning teams will each receive $50,000. The money will be shared by the students, their teacher advisors and their schools.
Judging Criteria
All entries for the initial three challenges will be judged on a variety of criteria, including the overall action plan and team effort, the quality of writing, and supporting materials. A select panel of judges will consider questions such as: does the action plan show the team's clear understanding of the environmental issue; does the action plan clearly describe the results; does the action plan communicate a persuasive argument; and does the action plan communicate team effort?
Full program information including rules and entry details can be viewed at www.scholastic.com/lexus .
Helping Teachers Inspire Students through Education
The Lexus Eco Challenge educational materials developed with Scholastic are designed to align with national teaching standards for science, social studies, civics and language arts.
In addition to providing teachers with the information necessary to participate in the challenges, the Web site (www.scholastic.com/lexus) also has extensive tools for them to use in their classrooms. For each challenge, the Web site has lesson plans and teacher instructions including questions to help guide a discussion about the current challenge topic, facts about the topic, and guidelines for a specific classroom project.
Lexus' Environmental Efforts
Lexus is the leading luxury automotive brand in the United States, both in sales and in environmental stewardship. Lexus was the first luxury brand to sell hybrids and currently offers three low-emission hybrid vehicles with a fourth hybrid coming next year. When Lexus began selling hybrids in 2005, it helped advance the concept of sustainability without sacrifice. To bring like-minded individuals together, it also developed the Lexus Hybrid Living site (www.lexus.com/hybridliving) that serves as a portal for people seeking a way to incorporate luxury and environmentalism into their lives.
The Lexus Eco Challenge is part of The Lexus Pursuit of Potential, a philanthropic initiative that generates $3 million in donations each year for organizations that help build, shape and improve children's lives.

AMSTERDAM/ANKARA (Reuters) - U.N.-appointed inspectors, blocked from entering Syria, are in Turkey to gather information about possible use of chemical weapons in the civil war, officials said on Thursday.
The Syrian government and rebels fighting it have accused each other of using lethal chemical agents, including sarin gas, in the two-year-old conflict in which the death toll is estimated at more than 100,000.
The United States and its European allies have concluded that the Syrian government used chemical weapons, which Washington called a "red line" that justified providing military aid to the rebels.
Members of the team assembled by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had been on standby in Cyprus since April, unable to enter Syria as Western governments accused President Bashar al-Assad's forces of chemical weapons attacks.
The team went to Turkey this week and its head, Swedish scientist Ake Sellstrom, met Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Thursday, a senior Turkish official told Reuters.
Sellstrom is expected to deliver an interim report in July, which U.N. diplomats said may just be oral and is expected to be inconclusive since it is impossible for him to make definite pronouncements about the chain of custody of the samples he has received from Britain, France and the United States.
One senior Western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Britain and the United States alone have notified U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of 10 separate incidents of the use of chemical weapons by Assad's forces.
The diplomat also said Sellstrom would be visiting Berlin soon to discuss his investigation.
More than 100,000 people have been killed since fighting began in March 2011 in what is the longest and most violent of the recent Arab uprisings, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Western governments have grown frustrated that the U.N. mission has been unable to make progress on investigating the chemical weapons claims, a diplomat told Reuters.
From Turkey, the team will be unable to gather soil samples or scientific evidence needed to prove chemical use, but could compile intelligence and interviews or take blood samples from witnesses or victims of alleged attacks.
"As he cannot travel to Syria, Sellstrom visits countries like Turkey, France and Britain that have some information about possible use of chemical weapons in Syria," said the Turkish official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Sellstrom visited the Turkey-Syria border area and talked to officials who shared data on chemical weapons use, the official said.
Syria is one of seven countries that has not joined the 1997 convention banning chemical weapons. Western countries believe it has stockpiles of undeclared mustard gas, sarin and VX nerve agents.
Assad's government says accusations by the United States, Britain and France that it used chemical weapons are an attempt to justify foreign military intervention.

The Faction of Hope has taken many things from the Free Races; they have allied with the snakekind, taking our children away. They've destroyed the Bond and let Felnova and Kurai fall into chaos. Thousands die from diseases rampant from Felnovian refugees, bringing illness and death to other Realms. Now, they've taken our King - and with him, much of our hope.
But now, the Faction is withdrawing from other Realms back to Felnova - as the Free Races rally under the banner of the Vystrian Queen, victory seems a faraway thing in the world known for its former beauty. As all Faction strength gathers in this singular Realm, other worlds are afflicted with the snakekind - children are stolen in droves, and Orochi gains ever more power.
Nina has ordered the burning of Song Forest, and wishes to have the dragon knight Aurelius' head brought to her, for his victory in winning D'issan back to Vystrian control. As her power grows, Felnova's balance continues to tip. Earthquakes ravage the land and energy storms scour the skies; Kurai is similarly affected, in lesser degrees. To combat Nina's Faction-willed strength, Verridith has responded with rage; a bounty has been placed on every Faction head, and she seeks the means to destroy them once and for all.
The fight is on! What side have you chosen?
Here are our monthly features! These Of The Months, or OTMs, are chosen by the staff at the beginning of each month, two - the Character and the Species - randomly, and the other two - Member and Post - by staff nomination. Awards are given to MotM, CotM, and PotM, and are automatically added by staff to your accounts!
